Three fine little boxes, Andy, and all well finished. Grand job!

I have a real problem with those boxes - I like them all but can't decide which one I like best!
Well done

I also would not like to decide which is the better of the three as each has there own merits. Well turned and finished Andy

Three good boxes, the oak one I find especially pleasing. All are finished well and mask the join between base and lid really well.

All really nice boxes. My favourite is the spalted beech, like the proportions in it the most.
Cheers

All three are great little boxes.

Strange how everyone like little differences. For me the Oak box is probably the most dramatic but the larger of the two round ones has such interesting chatoyance in the quilted grain it wins out for me.
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…
